This was an important match in the tournament, so I'm happy to have won it.(On the last time Poland played in such a thriller) "I think in 2005 against Russia in the semifinals of the European Championship. It was a very long game, but finally we won it and got the gold medal.(On the final set and her battle with Yeon-Koung Kim) "It was like a head-to-head, ace-to-ace battle for us, and all the points were important, but the best was the last one that gave us the victory."

Korea coach Park Sam-Ryong: "It was a really close game today, but we lost so it's tough. The reason why we lost was because we made many mistakes in receiving."

Korea player Yeon-Koung Kim: "It was a really close game today, but now I want to forget this game and work on the next one.(On the battle with Glinka-Mogentale): "It was really tight in the last set and each team won a point and the other responded, so it was hard emotionally for both of us. I admire Glinka-Mogentale and the fact that she won."
